Delhi Metro's Magenta line services affected after glitch in signalling

Delhi Metro's Magenta Line connecting Janakpuri West in Delhi's western part to Botanical Garden in Noida on Wednesday afternoon suffered technical issues in signalling affecting the train services. "The point (crossovers zone) on the line, as a train departs from Jasola Vihar towards Botanical Garden (down Line) on Magenta Line is showing some signalling issue though physically it's fine, since 12:05 pm," an official said.

“Due to this, trains between Jasola Vihar and Kalindi Kunj stations are running on restricted speed of 25 kmph as a part of "fail-safe mechanism", leading to minor bunching of trains, he said.

However, overall services on Magenta line are normal and authorised automatic speed in the affected section will be restored as soon as the issue is sorted out, the DMRC said.

Last week, services on the Blue Line were affected for two consecutive days due to signalling issues.
